1.  Connect the power cables to mains. For the computer and all devices, use the enclosed power cables. 
2.  Connect the keyboard and mouse (used for CA1000 setup and configuration). 
3.  Connect up to two displays to the HDMI ports. 
4.  Connecting the CA1000 to a Dante network: Connect one of the LAN Ethernet ports to the switch on the 

Dante audio network. The right-most RJ45 connector is the factory-configured Dante network port. Port 

assignment can be changed in the Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) configuration window. 

Note: DVS is configured at the factory as the selected Audio Device in the SuperRack Setup tab. 

5.  Connecting the CA1000 to an ASIO interface: Connect the ASIO interface to one of the USB connectors on 

the CA1000. Follow instructions provided by the interface manufacturer to install and configure the ASIO 

driver on the CA1000. 

Note: DVS is configured at the factory as the selected Audio Device in the SuperRack setup tab. If using an 

ASIO device, the corresponding device driver must be selected after installing the ASIO interface.
